Nope.
They move around too much, weigh your ears down and put extra pressure on them (which can lead to blowouts), can get snagged on clothing easily, etc. At tiny sizes (like 14G-10G) it's not the worst thing you can do but it's best not to get into the habit. Also, most people use acrylic tapers and acrylic is not for fresh stretches.
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
